Central Food Market – Athens

Happy new year everyone! I was in Athens over new year, and visited the Central Food Market on a Saturday morning!

I started my visit in the meat section. It was very clean, in accordance with EU regulations, but I have to warn you the its definitely not for vegetarians or the faint hearted!

Since it was a Saturday morning, the fish section was extremely crowded and there was hardly any space to move around! Being the people of a coastal city, it was clear that the Athenians love their fresh seafood!

It was very noisy! Every fish seller was trying to get the attention of the customers and shoppers were haggling and choosing to get their best. A great experience to watch!!!

Once out of the covered meat and fish section, it was comparatively quiet and tranquil.
